When it comes to summer, it’s essential that every girl rethinks what haircare products she’s using…
Everyone knows how important it is to apply your sunscreen before we go outside each day, especially with the harshness of the NZ sun… but we seem to forget about our hair.
Sun damaged hair accumulates visible damage over time making hair dull, frizzy and weak, and appear unhealthy and neglected. Being located close to the ozone hole means New Zealand has severe levels of UV radiation, with parts of the country needing sun protection on a daily basis, even in winter.
Check out some of my haircare recommendations this summer:
1. Schwarzkopf Extra Care Sun Repair Shampoo, Conditioner & Spray Conditioner
This brand new range from Schwarzkopf, much like moisturisers with SPF, promises to protect your hair from sun damage.
Especially developed to repair hair damaged by sun and UV, the high- performing formula from the includes Monoi-Flower Extract and UVA/UVB filters to repair damage caused by sun rays and salty water and protects the hair from drying out.
2. OGX Vitamin E Shampoo & Conditioner
These are just perfect for the holiday season! It can be difficult to maintain soft, shiny hair when you’re travelling, especially in Summer, so OGX have got your hair covered with their Vitamin E “travel sized” essentials.
Healthy hair is always in style, so when your hair could use a boost, take your vitamins! OGX Vitamin E Shampoo & Conditioner is just what your dry, damaged hair needs in the hot Summer weather.
This Vitamin E infused formula smoothes the outer layer of hair, helping to fuse split ends while healing and adding nutrients to get your hair back to healthy.
3. COLAB Sheer & Invisible Dry Shampoo
I’d never heard of COLAB before, but these are really something!
COLAB claim to be the market leader in breakthrough dry shampoo couture. At the heart of the product is a revolutionary formula, made available in a range of exquisite fragrances.
They even have little travel-sized bottles, which are perfect to carry around in your handbag.
4. Dermalogica Daily Cleansing Shampoo & Conditioning Rinse
I only recently discovered that Dermalogica did a range of haircare, but it didn’t take me long before I was hooked!
The Daily Cleansing Shampoo and Daily Conditioning Rinse are both sulphate free. The shampoo gets to work with antioxidant rich Coconut, Argan and Avocado oils to infuse softness and shine into every strand while helping shield your locks from sun damage… while Grapefruit, Lavender and Geranium essential oils will wake your senses.
The Daily Conditioning Rinse also contains antioxidant rich Coconut, Argan and Avocado oils to restore softness and shine for that vibrant bounce we all love. Thirsty hair in particular will love the nourishing strengthening formula. Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) conditions compromised cuticles and helps to intensify shine without adding extra weight.
5. Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo
Morrocanoil launched their very first Dry Shampoo range this year, and I am seriously obsessed.
This powerful and innovative formlua is designed to instantly absorb oil and product build up without leaving behind any visibele powder. It also features natural volumizing and deodorizing agents, along with a UV filter and a hint of the signiature Moroccainoil fragrance (naturally).
You won’t regret trying this one!
6. HASK Essentials Weightless Waves
Besides having the prettiest packaging in the entire world, this formula infuses hair with hydrolysed silk to provide softness and manageability to curls and waves.
Quench your locks with this lightweight, non-greasy formula that enhances and intensifies shine with no crunchies. Bring that bounce back and let your soft, curvy curls shine through this summer!
This baby is ultimate styling line committed to solving your top hair care challenges quickly, easily and beautifully. The range uses key ingredients specifically formulated to curl, smooth, repair and protect for gorgeous and manageable hair.
7. Joico Color Co+Wash Whipped Cleansing Conditioner
We’ve all got a secret stash of Dry Shampoo hidden away in our bathrooms, but what about Dry Conditioner? And what even is Dry Conditioner?
Well, it’s basically a revolutionary twist on the traditional Dry Shampoo that carefully preserves the hair’s natural oils to create healthy, shiny, frizz-free, luxurious locks.
The creamy formula also makes it super easy to apply!
8. L’Oreal Professional “Volumetry” Christmas Gift Set
L’Oreal have launched a variety of five different, and absolutely stunning gift sets this Christmas this year.
I was lucky enough to be sent two of the five to be featured – the first one (the green one pictured above) is the “Volumetry” pack to help volumise and bodify the hair.

9. L’Oreal Professional “Shine Blonde” Christmas Gift Set
Just like the “Volumetry” set above, this is another one of the five limited edition Christmas sets L’Oreal Professional have available this year.
However instead of working to volumise, this one helps replenish and brighten blonde hair.
It also comes with the Tecni.Art.Volume Lift.
10. Manuka Doctor ApiRevive Restorative Hair Mask
Just like Dermalogica, I also had no clue that Manuka Doctor offered hair products until recently.
This rich and creamy conditioning treatment that works to replenish lost moisture and add nourishment to revitalize damaged hair. The unique formulation of Manuka honey, Manuka oil and Abyssinian oil work together to replenish hair of any lost nutrients and restore natural goodness.
